Purpose: This study investigates the knowledge gaps about fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI) among women's healthcare providers. Previous research highlighted a lack of awareness regarding FXPOI as a cause of primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and its diagnosis. The objective of this study was to describe these gaps and explore demographic factors influencing FXPOI knowledge in women's healthcare practitioners.

Background: Premutation alleles of the FMR1 X-linked gene containing CGG repeat expansions ranging from 55 to 200 are associated with diverse late-onset neurological involvements, including most severe disorder termed Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS). It is intriguing that at least one-third of male, and a much lower than predicted from the X-linkage proportion of female carriers are free of this syndrome. This suggests the existence of secondary genetic factors modifying the risk of neurological involvements in these carriers.

Repeat expansion disorders (REDs) encompass over 50 inherited neurological disorders and are characterized by the expansion of short tandem nucleotide repeats beyond a specific repeat length. Particularly intriguing among these are multiple fragile X-associated disorders (FXds), which arise from an expansion of CGG repeats in the 5' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene. Despite arising from repeat expansions in the same gene, the clinical manifestations of FXds vary widely, encompassing developmental delays, parkinsonism, dementia, and an increased risk of infertility.

Division of Molecular Pathology, Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Songkhla, Thailand.

The fragile X premutation is a public health concern worldwide. Implementing a comprehensive screening program for FMR1 premutation alleles could empower individuals and families with information, supporting informed health decisions and potentially reducing the incidence of fragile X syndrome (FXS). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of FMR1 premutations in the Thai population.
